@manicseamonkey11 ай бұрын
I'm still using a Fractal Design Define R6. It's a nice elegant case with plenty of space and options. My previous build was with an i7 9700K, 360mm aio (front mounted) and a hybrid MSI Seahawk 2080 super (rear mounted exhaust). Current build all air cooled, i7 13700K, Noctua NH-D15, 2X 140mm front mounted inlet, 1X 140mm rear outlet, open venting at the top of the case. MSI 4070ti Gaming X TRIO. O/C on both CPU and GPU - all temperatures great with the front door closed but if pushing things hard you can open the door for extra airflow.

Glad Thermaltake actually listened to the customers and made the option for fully vented sides instead of the 2/3 glass sides on the t100 that didn't accept any sort of fans or rads besides the top and bottom. Even running LOUD industrial grade 2000rpm 140mm bottom intake-top exhaust full speed left that one in thermal throttle in normal use. I did have a trick, though. Installing top fan on the underside of the baffle instead of upperside as it is stock, gives room for the exhaust to flow unrestricted out the cable holes and did help thermals more than I thought it would. Also see little point in a filter on the backside exhaust. It's for exhaust.

Honorable Mention in mATX category >>> BitFenix Nova Mesh SE TG. Just completed a build in this case, and it was a great low cost solution, including 4xARGB fans and integrated fan/ARGB controller (which can do either push button or ARGB mobo connect). Usual mATX case caveat on avoiding very long GPUs (max 315mm in this case). It does have push out PCIE slot covers, thats the main downsize. White version is only $50 USD on AMZ.

The GIGABYTE A620I AX motherboard at $139US finally made an AM5 ITX build more affordable. Plugged in a new RTX 4060 Zotac card and good to go. I just used the 2 stock 120mm fans than came with the TT 100. I needed to shrink my old PC to fit it where I was moving it to so I rebuilt it into the small white Jonsbo C6 mesh mATX case.

I went with an aorus c500 glass. Its expensive, but it fit my particular wants the best. I have the 4090 master and wanted to vertical mount it to show off the argb fans without hidding the display screen and not have the card chocked off by the glass panel, this case is wider and has full vertical mounting all the way back to the board. I also used a tiltable gfx card mount and tilted it forward slightly for better visibility of the display screen. I also have a corsair shift psu that has the modular cables come out the side so they go straight into the side of the case, requiring full side access to the psu. Needed room for an eatx motherboard, a 360 rad, and great airflow. This case allowed 3 front 120's, 1 rear 140, the 360 rad on top, and 2 120's on the bottom. The width also gives a bit more room for cable management and hubs. Bonuses were the top panel usb c, built in argb/fan hub for fans and the argb logo. And the build quality is solid. Only downside is it does cost a $. Previous case was an asus tuf gaming which is longer and I love its style, it was perfect for my am4 build, but it lacked all those features needed for this am5 build.

I have a Lian Li Lancool 2. It replaced a cheap Sharkoon case that came with my prebuilt system. It has been upgraded over the years with Lian Li Uni Fans, coloured cables and a red dragon. But I need to upgrade to a better mboard etc. As I have physical limitations, lifting or even holding parts, the Lancool2 was great with the hinged door. But an odd issue arose. The 'front' IO and power switch are on the top. Unhandy for me with the case sitting by my side, but fun for my cat who sits on it and presses the power or reset buttons at the most inopportune moments. So my next case will be, I think the Lian Li 216. I lose the door into the case. But I gain an IO combo that can be fitted low down on the corner of the case. And whilst the O11s have better cable management, the 216 is not far behind and far better than the Lancool 2. And the 216 comes with massive ARGB fans. So unless anyone has a better suggestion, my only choice left is Black or White.
